Food

[bdo2309 44]

Today has been very difficult for me. I just really want some real food. I get full from broth, but I just really want something solid. I hope this gets easier.

It will get easier. You want to chew something. I crushed a bunch of ice and ate that. It seemed to satisfy the need to chew. It only lasts for a few days.

It does.. How far out are you? I know the liquid diet after surgery is in my book the hardest!

The pre op liquid diet was easier to me.

I think because I wanted the "comfort" from food.< /p>

We put ourselves in this major painful and stressful situation and our comfort was ripped away too!

Just know that this stage is hard but it's for a very good reason. It's not a "diet" to lose weight it is so the staple line on your stomach can heal problem free.

Hang in there

I was sleeved June 3. Thanks for the encouragement! I know it's more mental than actual hunger. I can have broth and will be full. I think I just miss solid foods. Lol. Down 19 pounds since Monday

I was sleeved 5/14 and I'm back on puree b/c my tummy didn't like softs when I tried them this past week. I went to my son's baseball tourney all day yesterday(my first all day outing since surgery) and I was sitting around all the parents eating snack shack foods..soft pretzels, bbq, burgers & hot dogs, nachos...it was tough, but I stayed focused on my son and the game and I made it through.

bdo, it will get better when you can move up to soft or pureed foods...I had a difficult time with the post-op liquid diet...I was getting so sick of broth

I was sleeved on 6/3. I can't say that I'm craving any foods. I haven't had anything but Water and Isopure. Even though the Isopure has 40g of Protein per bottle, it takes me 3 days to finish one. I've lost 12lbs post-op. Haven't had much pain but definitely low on energy.

Same here I was sleeved 5/30. Still on liquids but now can have shakes and milk...so I make a Cookies and cream shake (syntrax) with almond milk and crushed ice...put in magic bullitt...yummy...but I still want some food. I know I can not have it. It's been 10 days out....pretty hard.
